Crystals Need Intention To Work

Let's workshop this poem about the slavery behind all the crystals we use to manifest wellbeing and abundance!

Crystals Need Intention To Work

If only these all-rib potbellies 
knew, as US Gen-Z(odiac)s 
know, the ambient powers

(and not just to vibrate away 
disease) of the Madagascar 
crystals they slave for—slave,

on cactus calories, despite 
the very citrine in their hands 
purring out paths to riches!

BONUS MICROPOEM (featuring, yet again, citrine: the ultimate crystal for abundance)

citrine is a stone of optimism (ahem, and wealth),
so perhaps that explains why the black children
mining it smile for the camera (despite starving)
